Abstract—Linear Induction Motors (LIMs) have got potential to replace the age old belt-pulley driven systems and the likes, which are in use for conversion of rotary to linear motion in most of the applications. In the present work a 3- phase Single sided longitudinal LIM (50Hz, 4 pole, 440V, 9KVA, and 52.4km/hr) has been designed, fabricated and successfully tested on a test track in the Indian Railways Institute of Electrical Engineering Nasik (IRIEEN). In this paper the test results of the various standard experiments conducted on the machine are described.

Index Terms—linear induction motor, static test.
